maybe don’t let the liberal mainstream media define your enemies for you

competent, didactic, cautious, diplomatic

putin is nothing like trump

the code of conduct here is a disaster, and i’m sure it turns away free speech enthusiasts, as well as otherwise apolitical people trying to escape woke culture.

It is not and should not be your responsibility to not cause offense.

Anyone can be offended by anything, and by prioritising the feelings of whoever claims offense over the free speech rights of the ‘offender’ you risk these claims being made spuriously to weaken and fragment the organisation. This is how other foss orgs have been infiltrated and compromised, and it’s concerning to see the same foundation laid here.

In that sense this place does feel like reddit, with their onerous and politicised moderation which promotoes an ideological race to the bottom, where only the most hegemonic and milquetoast opinions are permitted. Decentralisation and unmoderated freedom of speech should go hand in hand but the culture has shifted far away from that, and it’s no accident.
